Book Reviews of Wind, Sand and Stars
Book Review: A Romantic Adventurer
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a beautifully written book exuding a sense of mystery and adventure perhaps no longer possible to experience. Antoine de Saint-Exupery was an aristocrat and pilot who chose to fly lonely postal routes -- a romantic adventurer with incredible sensitivities who was filled with wonder and musings about what he encountered. No one should pass this by. It could be read to a child though it is not a children's story. A popular children's story also written by Saint-Exupery, The Little Prince, was published five years later.Book Review: A Treasure
Summary: 5 Stars
Wind, Sand and Stars is the most beautifully written book. Most people are familiar with The Little Prince but until you read Wind, Sand and Stars you will not fully appreciate Saint-Exupery. What a beautiful mind and soul. If you take the time to read this jewel of a book you will be touched by its beautyBook Review: Magnificent

This book is a gem. I was lucky enough to find a copy a great used book store and have treasured it. Knowing how he died it is especially poignant to read his experiences flying in the early days of flight through fantastic countryside. You will love this book.Book Review: This book is a #1 winner, a book that needs a comeback in our society today!

I absolutely felt lifted above the earth, into the French author's big world view of 1936, as he spoke of his adventures and thoughts about life from the vantage point of an early aviator. Please read this book!Book Review: Great Read

Highly entertaining and insightful read on the life of a pilot during the early years of flying. His adventures were described with engaging text. Quite detailed philosophical methods.
